Comments:
My goal was to operate 24hrs with the hope of finally making 1,000 Q's for the
first time. I only made 924 raw Q's this year compared to 946 last year but I
did make 24hrs. When I stood up after the contest Sunday night I felt like I
was walking on sponges.
Spent most of my time trying to run. Sunday afternoon and evening was realy
slow so I was surprised with my final number of Q's. As most, NT wasn't in the
cards for me this year. I missed the opportunity to get them at the beginning
of the contest on 15M.
I decided to go with SOHP(U) again this year because of my limited antennas.
Power definitely makes a difference for me being heard and getting an amp was
due to our dear friend Dave/KT0R (SK) talking me into getting one. He not only
directed me to a great used AL-80B amp but also a great used Ten-Tec HP tuner.
The radio is a very trusty Mark V.
Thank you to every Ham that called me and gave me a Q !
